TOUCHING AFRICA

Background on the development of Touching Africa

Touching Africa is founded on vision-based business, project development and relationship-based networking. Touching Africa’s focus is on making a difference and “touching” the African society. All that we are today has been growing since 1987 within relationship-based business, where a few individuals were convicted about a Kingdom lifestyle and business character. Around the year 2000, Touching Africa evolved into a small group of businesses. The Touching Africa Development Trust (TADT) was established in 2010 as a “social vision instrument” that facilitates the development of projects having a positive impact on society and the hearts of people.

During this time, we also embarked on a journey to develop a broader network and association of people, organizations, institutions and social and corporative enterprises.

As the association developed, the vision remained the same: To “touch” Africa, to be an “alternative society” and to manifest the “Kingdom of God” that will impact generations to come. Touching Africa experienced monumental growth during the past 5 years in the following ways:

Growth in associates and network partners.

A sound institutional framework was established.

Opportunities to work together and touch the community of Africa have developed and increased.

Today our story includes many changed lives as a result of:

People working together.

People being trained and establishing small businesses through our training programs.

Contributing to the development of agricultural activities, tourism, conservation activities, schools and other facilities.

Projects implemented to supply water and other services to communities.

Additionally, we have built vision and passion, motivating many to make a difference through various conferences, leadership training, workshops and award ceremonies throughout the years. The detail of most of these stories is captured on a monthly basis, published in the Touching Africa Gazette (TAG) available on this website. We invite you to read our stories, share in our dreams and participate to make a difference by “touching Africa”.

Dolomite is such a diverse rock! It is an exceptional aquifer for groundwater supply (which we often explore), a superior construction material (for aggregate and cement), a playground for tourism due to the beauty of its natural habitat, but, also the host of karst landscapes with sinkholes and subsidences.

Words have power. They have the power to unite or divide, heal or hurt. Heartlines is pioneering a national campaign “What’s your Story”? An initiative that uses personal storytelling to build understanding and trust.
